Playing a trainee journalist on Reporters, an upcoming show based on scribes, was definitely not an easy task for Kritika Kamra. From spending time in a newsroom to understanding how a media professional works, she had to put extra efforts to get the nuances right.
The show, produced by Rose Audio Visuals Pvt Ltd, will see Kritika as a political journalist Ananya.
We caught up with the pretty girl at the launch of the show where she spoke at length about her character, show and more...read on:
“I didn’t want to bore my audiences by being on the TV screen continuously. This is why I always prefer taking breaks. When this show was offered to me, I was really impressed with the content. I am also a fan of series and seasons, so I readily agreed to do this show,” said Kritika.
When we quizzed her about the ‘kissing’ promo that has grabbed eyeballs, the actress said, “I think kissing is overrated on and off screen. I think the purpose of the promo was to bring the essence of the show, which it did wonderfully. I was amazed by the response that we got for it. Never did I question the creatives about it as I was convinced that it was important for the show. But yes, I was not really sure if we would be even allowed to air it (laughs).”
Talking about her old connection with journalism, Kritika shared, “It is interesting that my mom wanted me to become a journalist and here I am, playing one on the small screen. My dad dreamt of seeing me as a doctor, and I played one in Kuch Toh Log Kahenge. So thankfully, I am getting to live my parents' dream!"
She is the perfect combination of beauty with brains as she shared, “Personally, I enjoy being updated with news. Being active on Twitter also helps me to get to know about the current affairs. Actually, this team is of like-minded people who enjoy news and information. Thus, we have a great time sharing knowledge while working.”
And finally, talking about her relationship with media, Kritika quipped, “I think media makes or breaks a celebrity. I have had a very good relationship with journalists and I have found some good friends in them. And today, that is making me nervous as journalists tend to become too critical. I hope they are lenient with me (smiles). Reporters will focus not only the professional aspect, but also bring the human dynamics of the characters. I really hope that all of you like it.”
Reporters will launch on April 13 (Monday) on Sony Entertainment Television.
